Fig. 2.

Fungal community composition in wheat litter at the early stage of decomposition. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination diagrams of the bacterial community colonizing wheat litter residues under (a) ambient and (b) future climate condition over time. NMDS ordination based on Jaccard dissimilarities was used to determine the compositional variation of all bacterial OTUs detected at different sampling times. In NMDS ordinations, the numbers 0, 30, and 60 represent the sampling time in days. Significant effect of time (p < 0.05) based on NPMANOVA is indicated in bold. All community-shaping wheat litter physicochemical properties (p < 0.05) were plotted in the respective NMDS ordination plots. (c) Normalized heat map of 28 dominant fungal OTUs, which account for at least 1% of the relative abundance at one or more sampling times. A, ambient climate; F, future climate
